Ncuti is so good at being The Doctor and Moffat turns in such a fun script! Love how it subverts the usual Doctor Who tropes without veering too into navel gazing. Each Christmas special for Doctor Who always features a ton of direct dialogue about how The Doctor shouldn't be alone too long (yes yes we get it, new companion next season). It's nice how Moffat managed to show that more than he said it. And judging by the new trailer, next season is gonna be a goddamn delight.

Not sure how I feel about the ending shot? They should have also filmed an alternate ending for me and my Jewish friends where Actually she shows up in the second temple as the Maccabees smacked down their enemies (this is a Hanukkah joke).
